Our Robinson DNA Matches in Origin

Test results show our Robinson line is an R1b1b2 (R-M269). Here are results from familytreedna tests. We still match up better from England and UK but so few. With a genetic distance of 1 we have 20 from Ireland. We have found two Robinsons who are exact matches in a 12 allele test but have not made contact yet though I've tried. As far as I know our family has been in the USA starting in Massachusetts and migrating to Vermont since about 1631. Before that is just the oral history that we came over not on the Mayflower but the ship after that one. We're not on Reverend John Robinson's tree whose son Isaac went over probably on one of the ships after the Mayflower. That was a good possibility but I can't find the proof. Instead, we seem to come from a George Robinson of Massachusetts b: 1631. One would think he had lived in England.

About Me

I'm the American Nadene Goldfoot. Another lives in England. I'm the one who went to Israel and lived there from 1980 to the end of 1985. I'm an amateur genealogist for our family who also has expanded interests into dna. I now spend my time writing in my 3 blogs teaching about Israel and defending her position.

On my tree I have found Rabbi Samson Wertheimer, RASHI, and King David through DNA testing. Another branch holds the kings and queens of England by genealogy. When current events become deplorable, I turn to this hobby for a lift. It's all whetted my appetite for ancient history of Israel.
